Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:

Maybe I'm mistaken and it's not a bug. I installed open-webui by downloading the latest release, unzipped the folder, and ran the Docker Compose command:

sudo docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml up -d --build

I'm able to download models using the web interface and use the software as intended. However, when I'm on the host machine and try to access the Ollama API directly without the web UI, I get this output:

curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags

Output:

{"models":[]}

When I go into the Ollama container and run the command:

ollama list

I can see about 10 models.

Steps to Reproduce:
Install webui as intended and then run the curl command

Expected Behavior:
all models which are used by open-webui

Actual Behavior:
Empty

Environment

Open WebUI Version: 0.3.7
Ollama (if applicable): 0.1.48
Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.4
Browser (if applicable): Chrome
